conferred upon him. He now in
diteS his autograph but once n week
rs he has to inscribe the mystic and
honorary title of Sublime Prince
Of the Royal Secret" Mr.. Albert
will endcavor to establish a concis-

An inexcusablc error occurred in
this paper last week, when we SAID
the democratic party declared in
favor OF the present prohibitory law.
1t, OF course, should have read, "in
favor of the repeal Of the present
prohibitory law and the enactment
of a local option law" However,
the error was obvious to the intelli-
gcncc Of the average reader.
Mr.. f. Z. Dickinson has complet.
ed the census of Audubon and finds
a population Of nearly 1900 souls.
This shows very gratifying increase
over the census of 1885, and it is also
a fact that many of those who have
come among us are among the best
citizens, who have added to the ag.
gregate wealth, strengthened the
churches and improved society.
MISS d. E. Dix is now prepared
to show a complete line OF millinery
in all its branches. Choice selections
in all the latest styles, also fancy
goods and notions comprising fclts,
pushes and linen goods; embroidery
silks, crewels, arrascne chcnilles /;
ladies' collars and cuffs, ruchings,
handkerchei.s, gloves, etc. She has
also limited line OF children's hos
iery which she will close out at a
very low price. Stamping done to
order.
Mr.. and Mrs. S. &. Hunt, who
were billed for an entertainment, to
consist of select readings, at court
house hall on the evening of the 9TH
inst, failed to appear much to the
discontinue OF the good ladies Of
the Woman's Relief Corps, under
the auspices OF which they were to
appear. Money paid for tickets
will be refunded by Mrs. J. w.
Rosenberg. Organizations will do
well to exercise vigilance in con.
tracing with the Hunts.
Our people are gratified with the
assurance that Rev. B. Harris will
be returned to this charge by the
M. L. conference. During his pas.
torate Of year he has won the res.
pect and friendship of the entire peo-
pie, and when he shall have been
among us three years, we Would not
be surprised to see our citizens peti.
ton the powers to abolish the timer
ant system, and to install him in this
charge. He is building up the or
ganization and its property.
The eighth annual exhibition OF
Audubon County fair will be held
next week. Evan Davis has just 70.
ceived his eighth annual fall stock Of
bought at very low prices
on account Of buying in such large
quantities for two stores. His stock
is much larger than it was eight
years ago and he can sell you bet.
ter goods for less money this year.
Don't fail, when you attend the fair
to visit the great Golden Eagle
Clothing House and Davis can save
you money on every dollar you in.
vest for clothing at his store.
We haye received from George
w. Lyon, Of Cedar Rapids, the state
agent, copy OF Picturesque W ash
ington nicely bound in sheep. 1t
contains over 900 large pages, which
are handsomely illustrated with the
best engravings we have ever seen
in any book. 1t is, as the name i'm
plies, descriptive of the national cap.
tal and is intensely interesting. Mr..
Lyon wishes to secure an agent for
the work in this locality, and we
can heartily and sincerely recon.
mend it as one of the best works
hat could be placed in the homes of
Audubon county.
